This is a blog about the board games my son Tyler and I play, and humorous stories when applicable. We will both give reviews from our perspectives. Spoiler alert: I mostly lose, no matter what the game is.

GENCANT Part 3 - Final Day

We had to wrap things up early on the final day so we did not have a ton of time. But we did decide to make Sunday fun day.

We first we decided to get a game of decided to get a game of electronic deal or no deal. Every player has there own board and your trying to be the player with the most money at the end. You can see what numbers people have left so there is more strategy than you think. My wife walked by and said "Your playing deal or no deal? Reallly?" i said yes and she just walked away....and then walked by again...and then said "I want to play". We played a second game and she destroyed both of us.

Next up was STIGA hockey (aka rod hockey). I played a ton of this as a child in the late 70's and early80's and i was happy to teach my son this game. Neither one of us used the sabres because even though they are the home team it is the old uniform on the game which locals refer to as the "banana slug". Ty was talking a little smack and i quickly wiped the ice with him. He said "How?" and "What The?" quite often. I explained that at his age i played this game every week. I mailed away for teams. He vowed revenge.

As the day ended i decided to give one last crack at the fake artists play alongs and decided to do the last 3. I did horrible so you can feel free to guess and i will put a link to the answers under the picture.

GenCant was amazing. It gave me online interaction with so many new people and it also got me a ton of more game time with Tyler. Wins all around. I will attend next year for sure.
